Description

🌿 Memorial Hike in Honour of Wayne Crockett 🌿

Wayne Crockett was more than a hike leader — he was a friend, mentor, and inspiration to so many in the hiking community. His love for nature, walking, and connecting with people made every hike memorable. Wayne touched countless lives through his kindness, humour, and genuine spirit.

To celebrate Wayne’s legacy, we’ll gather for a Memorial Hike in his honour, beginning at High Park and then Sir Casimir Gzowski Park , where a memorial bench and a tree with a plaque stand as a lasting tribute to him. After a moment of remembrance, we’ll head east along the Waterfront Trail, taking in the beautiful lakeside scenery that Wayne so loved. Our journey will end at the St. Lawrence Market, where hikers can enjoy good food, good company, and all the vibrant sights and flavours the Market offers — just the kind of lively experience Wayne would have appreciated.

Come join us to walk, remember, and celebrate a cherished friend who inspired so many steps and smiles along the trail. Let’s walk together in Wayne’s spirit — with friendship, laughter, and love for the trail.

A few notes:

• Dress appropriately for the weather
• Bring water and snacks
• Running shoes are recommended over hiking boots for dry day.
• No pets.
